All Hands On Deck for Gibbs, Suarez Out at Trackhouse, Too Soon For Zilisch NASCAR Silly Season News

Daniel Suárez is officially out at Trackhouse, and the Cup Series silly season just detonated. What does that mean for Suárez, Trackhouse, and rising star Connor Zilisch? Add in a $100M surprise sale of Rick Ware Racing, a charter tug-of-war, and whispers of Dodge returning, and suddenly, NASCAR’s future just got way more chaotic.

• Why did Trackhouse cut ties with their original driver, Suárez, after five seasons?
• Could Rick Ware Racing, now flush with investor cash, be Suárez’s next unlikely landing spot?
• Is 18-year-old Connor Zilisch ready for the big leagues, or is this a Joey Logano déjà vu?
• How does Dodge’s potential return factor into the long game, and could Suárez anchor it?

Suárez has sponsorship, name value, and unfinished business, but he’s facing a harsh truth: more funded drivers exist than there are charters. The idea that a former Xfinity champ with two Cup wins might be teamless is wild. Meanwhile, Zilisch might be the future, but is Trackhouse gambling too early? With Ross Chastain and SVG as his teammates, road courses might be a bloodbath in 2026. This is one of those domino moments that could reshape the Cup Series in ways we don’t fully see yet. So where does Suárez go? And will Zilisch boom or bust?
